So, herewith are a few goodies sure to help you hone that edge you’ve worked so hard to get. 4 1 2 Blade-tech’sCompetitionspeedBeltrepresents a dependable option for competition shooting.Withnobuckle,thisbelthasaninner and outer sewn nylon belt with a velcro attachment — very shooter-friendly indeed! the outer beltisreinforcedtoensureyourholsterandmagazine pouchesremainstable.Blade-techhasothergreatcomponentswithcompetitionshootinginmind,alldone-upwiththeclassicBlade-techdevotionto qualityandengineering.
